On @narativ_live right now: former KGB officer Yuri Shvetz says that the KGB began recruiting Trump in earnest in 1983, three years after identifying him as a potential asset.

"If you had told anyone at the KGB that Donald Trump [back then] would one day be president, they would not even laugh, because it was too ridiculous."

Shvetz says he believes the FSB didn't think Trump could be president until Feb/March of 2016. That's when the various meetings were set up w/Dimitri Simes, he says.

"The whole Trump Organization was turned into a money laundering front for the Russian intelligence community."

Shvetz is a key source for Unger's new book: https://www.amazon.com/American-Kompromat-Cultivated-Related-Treachery/dp/0593182537

Correction: Shvets with an "s" not a "z" at the end.
